Thank You Missydora, glad u approve! Need two clips now to go on the bangle, and about 4 older two tones for my bracelet and i will be very happy!
The placement of the leaves two tone was bugging me too, but i was too tired to try anything else further, but will be tinkering with it..

I now realize that when i wear my bracelet i like charms on it that look the same from all angles and as the bracelet moves around on my wrist there r no charms that are upside down or back to front.

And i can with clips, wear the irregular charms on my bangle and they will mostly stay the right side up! Any suggestions for clips on my bangle or bracelet?

And Thank You again!
I don't know if u can still get these clips but I think they will go well with your bangle with them being this shape of it will look nice on your bracelet having some smooth and intricate charms. I think another good way to separate charms especially say if you have 2 same charms next to each other that are of similar shape and size and have no other charms that you could put in, to break it up a bit would be to use Spacers and dangles but not everyone likes to have dangles. They do make a difference either of them. 2017-08-04 14.45.37.jpg think you can leave the clips you have on the bracelet. They look fine one there.
Are you also only really go for two tone charms? I think I've slowed down because of the lack of two tones. Or the new ones don't really go with what I have.
 
After I got my bracelet and charms cleaned yesterday, I was going to embark on the methods mentioned here by Missydora for arranging the charms. Then I noticed one of the 2 "stopper" sections (for the stopper clips) of the bracelet has come undone and is now moving freely. I took it to the Store and they asked me to find the receipt for the bracelet. Went home and of course I couldn't find the receipt, it was bought in 2012!
Tomorrow I will try to take it back to see if they can repair without the receipt. I was told Pandora warranty is only for a year.
Anyone else has had this problem? The stopper piece sliding freely on the bracelet instead of being welded firmly.

Oh no . Thats unfortunate it wasn't the cleaning that they did that caused it do you think? Like maybe they loosened clip station bit on the bracelet. I've heard this happen before on a ancient thread years ago. It is repairable but for fee as I remember. They just weld it back. But if you have receipt you never know they might do it complimentary for free. Because they requested it even though it's like 5 years old. I remember having my safety chain rapaired cos the link broke cost me £30 that was 2 years ago.
Fingers crossed, Good luck they can sort it for you.
 
Wow you like your Pandora as well as Louis V too:biggrin: I've tried wearing two full bracelet, but weighs too much. Can only do 1 full bracelet and say 2 empty bangle's.
How long have you been collecting. You've ammased so many :smile:

I like instant gratification, I bought all of mine to fill an entire bracelet in one shopping trip to Pandora. I later realized that I'm not fond of full bracelets because I like my bracelets tight. So because I got 3 free bracelets on my first visit I went back the next weekend and bought another safety chain and spread my charms over 2 bracelets. The Mickey Minnie one has a lovers theme and the other is simply Pandora signature themed. Every now and again I wear them all on a full bracelet. I'm currently using the third to start a baby themed bracelet for my little one due next month.

Wow that's so cool. It took me about a year to get enough beads for a full bracelet as at first they were mainly gifted to me for birthdays and xmas. I started nearly 10 years ago. But now no one buys me them. I don't have any themes apart from colour and two tones. Had I used a more thematic approach like travel, family or memories I think my Pandora bracelet building would be so much easier and less being OCD.

They r discontinued but i can search my outlet for them, thank you for the idea missydora, i was thinking of them too! I am open to any clips that would go with the bangle, or i can transfer the clips from my bracelet onto the bangle and look for new ones for my bracelet... so if you have any more suggestions, would love to know of them. Thank you!

So I went to Bicester today, which is the only UK Pandora outlet I know, and I came back with these.

Not a huge deal of choice or stock, but the prices were unbelievable. The safety chains were £10, and even though I have the two tone bead already, I couldn't resist another at £15!

The rope ring I wanted ever since I started collecting Pandora. I believe it retailed at £100 and I got it for £35 (which is way less than the summer sale price of £55). They had one of the abstract gold spacers; I was hoping to have two but they only got the one in stock today and it had my name on it :smile:. These retailed for £159 and it was £60. Hopefully I will find another some day.

Missydora, they have the radiant splendour charms at £30 each.

See, I dove in full force. I'm OCD too, initially I only meant to get a couple but by the time I finished I had spent nearly $2000!!! It adds up fast. But now aside for a bear, a pacifier, a stroller and maybe one more I don't think I'll be buying too many more charms. Three bracelets are plenty for me.

Update: Took the bracelet back to the store where I had it cleaned on Thursday. The manager was not in but apparently made a note in his records that the clip station was already loose when he took it in. Anyway the SA would try to send the bracelet back to HQ on Monday, however she warned that ordinarily they would just replace the bracelet for a new one if within the warranty period (1 year). She's not confident that HQ would even repair but she was a nice SA and promised to do her best. Fingers crossed.

Meanwhile I took out an oxi bracelet which was in my closet for 5 years. Hubby asked me why I didn't wear it when I asked for his help to clasp it on this morning. The lobster clasp is a hassle and I didn't like oxi before. The galaxy openwork rose charm is new.

Wow you got some bargains!! Safety chain for a tenner cheaper than silver spacers!!. The gold spacer is beautiful pity not got a pair. But part of fun is finding the other one:biggrin:. Was there queues at the pandora outlet? Thanks for the heads up on the radiant splendor charm. :smile: the two tone ring charm I love that one I have same one. It's simple but so versatile. I use it a lot. At least you found some goodies. Happy playing with new charms :smile:
